Özet
Five adult patients, with posttraumatic cubitus varus deformity underwent corrective surgery by the Ilizarov method of distraction osteogenesis. A standard technique was applied in all patients. The average follow-up was 28 (range, 24-38) months. Preoperative carrying angle ranged from 12A degrees to 22A degrees of varus (average 16.6A degrees) and postoperative carrying angle ranged from 10A degrees to 14A degrees of valgus (average, 11.6A degrees) equalized to the contralateral side. The outcome was rated as excellent in all patients. No complication was observed, except a grade-2 pin-tract infection in two patients. Rigid fixation, early rehabilitation, precise correction, satisfactory cosmetic scars and functionally excellent results can be obtained with this method.
